Non-equilibrium fractionation during ice cloud formation in iCAM5: evaluating the common parameterization of supersaturation as a linear function of temperature. Submitted to J. Adv. Model. Earth Sy. Model Model output data are saved in model.tar.gz For all simulations, monthly averages of the following variables are saved in h0 files (used for Figures 3, 6, 8, 9): T: temperature (Si_real simulations only) PS: surface pressure (Si_real simulations only) U: zonal wind (Si_real simulations only) V: meridional wind (Si_real simulations only) LANDFRAC: fraction of surface area covered by land PRECT_H2O: total precipitation rate for H2O PRECT_HDO: total precipitation rate for HDO PRECT_H218O: total precipitation rate for H218O H2OV: H2O mixing ratio for vapor HDOV: HDO mixing ratio for vapor H218OV: H218O mixing ratio for vapor H2OI: H2O mixing ratio for cloud ice HDOI: HDO mixing ratio for cloud ice H218OI: H218O mixing ratio for cloud ice H2OL: H2O mixing ratio for cloud liquid HDOL: HDO mixing ratio for cloud liquid H218OL: H218O mixing ratio for cloud liquid For the control and Si_real microphysical sensitivity simulations, 6-hourly averages of the following variables are saved in h1 files (used for Figures 4, 5, 7): PRECL_H2O: Large-scale precipitation rate for H2O (Si_real simulations only) PRECL_HDO: Large-scale precipitation rate for HDO PRECL_H218O: Large-scale precipitation rate for H218O PRECL_SAT: Large-scale precipitation rate for Si tracer (Si_real simulations only) PRECL_TMP: Large-scale precipitation rate for T tracer (Si_real simulations only) PRECL_RVD: Large-scale precipitation rate for R^D tracer PRECL_RVO: Large-scale precipitation rate for R^18O tracer To limit the size of the data set, only the first 5 years of the simulations are saved.
